How so?

As I said before everything happens for a reason, such as a test of faith.

Testing of faith, I suppose.
It would have or not been in Gods blueprint of your life

Whose faith might you believe was being tested when I forced my first wife to have my third child aborted?

How was my faith being tested by God allegedly planning for me to have my third child aborted?

At least in some cases, we agree ... and now you would have me believe God planned for me to force one to happen?

Something tells me that you are on the wind up :lol: :lol: :lol:

But assuming you're actually serious, God chose for me to be an athiest, and is then going to send me to suffer in hell for eternity as punishment for simply following his predetermined plan?

If this is what you believe God to be, then how can you possibly love this God? Surely this would make him anything but a benevolant God. More like the universe's biggest douchebag

The other possibility being that there is no such place as hell and that he talks out of all sides of his mouth to shape history. Butterflies and hurricanes type stuff.

Predestination is the worst kind of garbage.

Not when properly understood ...

"... those whom He knew beforehand, He also ordained (predestined) beforehand to be conformed to the likeness of His Son ..." (Romans 8:29)

... and "chosen" is another term often grossly misunderstood.

Neither "predestined" nor "chosen" ever refers to anything related to condemnation.

It would be so comforting to believe the OP. I guess that's why millions of people fall into it. The truth of a complex world scares most people. I think it is possible to find liberation within that- I have some control over my own existence.

There is some truth there, but not as presented.
